Rochester, NY - August 27, 2007 - Logical Images, Inc., a Rochester, NY based health care software company that designs visual health care tools to elevate diagnosis accuracy, enhance clinician education, and heighten patient knowledge was ranked company 1,366 on Inc. magazine's first-ever Inc. 5,000. The Inc. 5,000 is a list of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. An extension of Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 500 list, the Inc. 5,000 catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.
"The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy - the entrepreneurial part," said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. "The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media."
Logical Images' products are developed to speed disease recognition and provide faster, more effective decision-making for caregivers and consumers, driving higher quality care and patient safety. The company reports a three year sales growth of 263.5 percent.
VisualDx, the company's flagship product, aids in the detection and recognition of virtually all visually identifiable diseases, including infectious diseases, agents of bioterrorism, drug eruptions, skin or mucosal rashes or lesions and more. This expansive clinical tool merges the world's largest collection of digitized medical images, nearly 16,000, with comprehensive handbook-length text to provide caregivers a unique patient-centric approach to disease diagnosis.
Recently, Logical Images launched www.VisualDxHealth.com, a consumer health information web site that visually presents conditions from a database over 2,000 medical images. Having images of the condition to compare to helps the consumer better identify and understand health concerns. Branched from the expert knowledge base of the professional tool VisualDx, VisualDxHealth.com gives the consumer trusted health source search capabilities and tailored disease information paired with actual disease images.
"Logical Images has been executing strategic plans for growth and will continue to do so in the future," said Richard Cohan, CEO of Logical Images. "It is an honor to have our efforts recognized through inclusion in the Inc. 5,000 as one of the fastest-growing businesses in the country."
